Everybody's got a drawer at home where they put things they don't know quite what to do with, and this page is no different. You'll find music, music articles, and recorded monologues. As with all drawers, more will be added here, as and when.

I wrote my first music article for Toppermost in December 2023, looking at the solo career of Squeeze co-founder Glenn Tilbrook, and recommending ten tracks. Then in February 2024 I did it again, this time focusing on his songwriting partner, Chris Difford. My third Toppermost, about Badly Drawn Boy, went live recently. Click on the images to take you to each article.

Act Your Age Productions put a call-out for writers to create short monologues to celebrate the 60th anniversary of The Beatles debut single, Love Me Do, in 2022. I answered the call and was taken aback when my monologue was accepted! The piece was performed and recorded by the wonderful actress, Julie Root.
